Smart

The EyeC ProofRunner™ uses a compact, high speed line scan camera to continuously acquire a high resolution image of the entire web. A high performance computer system then identifies all printed items on the web and tracks them through the entire print- or converting run.
The same computer also performs an intelligent comparison of each printed item against the customer proof. The advanced pattern analysis of the EyeC ProofRunner ™ is capable of distinguishing between the different types of defects, so every significant deviation will get caught and displayed while permissible fluctuations caused by the printing process itself – like minor registration errors or small squeeze marks around individual letters – can be automatically passed.

Through the prepress-link to the signed customer proof even content errors resulting from mistakes in the preprint-area can be detected like:

• typos
• reversed colours in graphical elements
• wrong font or font attributes (bold, italic etc.)
• incorrect character spacing
• missing special characters or accents

Flexible

The use of different parameter sets allows the EyeC ProofRunner’s™ sensitivity to be adapted to product or customer specific quality standards.
